listed, make sure to follow them.

Make sure you have: hooked up the microphone and moved obstacles to the speakers out of the way. If you have a subwoofer make sure it is turned on and has the volume turned up.

WARNING: The test tones are very loud!! Make sure there are no infants or small children in the room and that no one who will be scared, upset or injured by loud noise is present. You yourself may want to wear earplugs. It is possible to lower the volume of test tones, but this could result in incorrect speaker settings.

10If you have followed all setup instructions and warnings above make sure that the arrow is pointed to START and press ENTER. Be

prepared for loud test tones.

Try to be as quiet as possible after hitting ENTER. The test tones may take up to 30 seconds.

The volume automatically increases to 0 dB, then the system will output some test tones and establish ambient noise levels, the microphone status, and what speakers you hooked up.
